630 East 6th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The four-story, 40-unit residential building at 630 East 6th Street in the East Village, owned by Valerie Walters, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding safety systems and maintenance. As of May 2025, there is an open complaint regarding the ventilation system, and throughout 2024-2025, there have been multiple heat/hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, including violations issued by HPD. The building has faced recurring safety concerns, particularly in apartment 3RF, with violations noted for faulty smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspection attempts have often been unsuccessful.

There have been multiple reports of water-related issues, including a heavy flow water leak and standing water on the sidewalk in 2025. The property has a documented history of pest control challenges, particularly in late 2024 where multiple violations for unsanitary conditions related to pests were issued. Elevator service has been a persistent concern, with numerous complaints filed between 2021-2023 about the single-device elevator service, though inspections did not warrant violation citations.

Rodent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown mixed results, with some failed inspections necessitating bait applications. The building's maintenance history reveals several open violations from 2024 inspections, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, security doors, and various maintenance issues in apartment 3RF and 3RG. While there have been bedbug reports in the past, the most recent filings for 2023-2024 indicate no current infestations. The building's history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly affecting safety systems and basic services like heat and water, with many issues requiring multiple inspection attempts and follow-up actions.
